Why I took to terrorism, by Abdulmutallab

IT is a study in the psychology of a young, well-trained engineer from an affluent background turned terror mind. Psycoanalysts and allied professionals would do well to pour over it now, not for its author’s sake for he may well be beyond helping in the hands of an unmovable justice system and a people braying for his blood, but for many young minds on the same path of needless waste of their God-given potentials and sure destruction in Nigeria, yes Nigeria, and some far-flung places across the world.

In flawless prose which bore a mark of his formal education in some of the best schools around, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the young Nigerian accused by the United States (U.S.) of attempting to blow up a U.S. jetliner on Christmas Day in December 2009 has disclosed publicly for the first time, details of his conspiracy against the U.S. and why he decided to become a terrorist against that country. America.

The disclosures were in the prepared statements he made at the U.S. District Court in Detroit, Michigan, transcripts of which were just released by the court, after Abdulmutallab pleaded guilty and ended the trial abruptly.

The trial ended suddenly last Wednesday in Detroit, when Abdulmutallab decided to plead guilty after the prosecution laid out the evidence against him and called its first witness.

The self-confessed terrorist may have decided to plead guilty suddenly on the second day of the trial because he was dazed by the extent of evidence laid out against him by the prosecution, according to the U.S.-based Nigerian lawyer, Kayode Oladele, who represented the Federal Government of Nigeria in a watching brief at the trial.

In the transcripts of his statement, released by Judge Nancy Edmund’s court officials, Abdulmutallab, in pleading guilty warned the U.S. that God may directly strike and disclosed publicly for the first time how and why he chose to attack the U.S.

According to him, “in late 2009, in fulfillment of a religious obligation, I decided to participate in jihad against the United States. The Koran obliges every able Muslim to participate in jihad and fight in the way of Allah, those who fight you, and kill them wherever you find them, some parts of the Koran say, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”

He continued: “I had an agreement with at least one person to attack the United States in retaliation for U.S. support of Israel and in retaliation of the killing of innocent and civilian Muslim populations in Palestine, especially in the blockade of Gaza and in retaliation for the killing of innocent and civilian Muslim populations in Yemen, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan and beyond, most of them women, children, and noncombatants.”

Abdulmutallab went on to say that as a result of his determination, “ I travelled to Yemen and eventually to the United States, and I agreed with at least one person to carry an explosive device onto an aircraft and attempt to kill those onboard and wreck the aircraft as an act of jihad against the United States for the U.S. killing of my Muslim brothers and sisters around the world.”

Before he went on to concede to all the eight counts against him, Abdulmutallab also disclosed that he was “greatly inspired to participate in jihad by the lectures of the great and rightly guided Mujahedeen who is alive, Sheikh Anwar al-Awlaki, may Allah preserve him and his family and give them victory, Amen, and Allah knows best.”

He was referring to the same al-Awlaki, a U.S.-born terrorist killed by U.S. drones last month in Yemen. .

Abdulmutallab continued: “Participation in jihad against the United States is considered among the most virtuous of deeds in Islam and is highly encouraged in the Koran; however, according to U.S. law, which is unjust and oppressive according to the Koran, my actions make me guilty of a crime in the United States.”

He then addressed each of the counts against him specifically, and pleaded guilty to them all.

That is how the cookie crumbles.
What a waste.

What a disapointment to nigeria nd islam!

Waiting for the judgement they will pass on him.

this boy is stupid and retarded,he is just turning islam the religion of peace
into something else,

I want him to get the chair in Texas with low current so his death would be slow and painful.

this boy is silly and slow,he is just turning islam the religion of peace
into something else,  

Is not only him that is silly all those who sent him on lie and death mission by twisting the religion to suit their nasty evil locked brain are the most silly.

He had listened to their music and dance to it instead of facing his studies to become a proud son of his father but he chosed to become an eye sore of his family a real big time pain in the a s s son he should face the penalty and pay the price so next time he come to this world he would understand and know that when a father say oh my son go and be better in life he would do as his father says and not otherwise

U CANT BECOME A TERRORIST IF YOU DONT HAVE PASSION FOR TERRORISM.BUT AS ANIGERIAN JUSTICE SHOULD BE TAMPERED WITN MERCY 90YRS IN JAIL IS GOOD ENOUGH,

kai! Wat a waste after all the money the father spent on him and his education,hoping he would be a better man. So this is it?
Wat a sad end!

this boy is silly and slow,he is just turning islam the religion of peace
into something else,

Who told you Islam is a religion of peace? Why do we just don't tell ourselves the simple truth? Believe it or not, the long term ambition of every Muslim is to assist in ensuring that all human beings become Muslim either by persuasion or mostly by force.

What a wasted life, he will never see the light of day throughout the rest of his life as he will be condemned to life imprisonment without parole.

This guy is totally a fool and ignorant of the correct interpretation of the Holy Quran, are there no women, children and noncombatants, on the plane is was about to blow-up, this is a clear fact the he has been brainwashed, and acting against the meaning of the Holy Quran, because last time i checked there is nothing like COLLATERAL DAMAGE in the face of Allah, each person will be responsible for his/her action and deeds.
Allahs knows best.

rest in jail

Islam is a religion of peace nd will always be. U guys should not conclude wrongly cos of stupid and silly acts perpetrated by some mis-informed individuals. This guy was soimply brainwashed by d wrong person.

I keep asking this question: How many versions of the Koran are there? Some read the Koran and become better people, others read it and become terrorists. It's painful, really.

D guy is a total fool,

Evil is of the mind and it is influence by avoidable factors within and outside our enclave. Ignorance breeds fear and fear puts wedges between people. Knowledge conquers FEAR. Knowledge builds TRUST or informed DISTRUST. I am embarrassingly pained to know that the background, level of academic and social experiences of this young man have failed to reform his thinking, rather allowed himself to be brainwashed and consequently pay the price of his folly dearly.
Having read some portions of Koran, I doubt if Koran is in agreement of this sort of inhuman behavour. Pls, I stand corrected.

A sad waste, and now he must face justice.

This is not a uncommon story and unlikely to be come so any time soon.

honestly i laugh each time a face saving muslim come up to say Islam is a religion of peace. What peace i ask! Muttallab said it here that the koran (not holy) encourages muslims to kill those against them (and he mentioned the americans). Is this not prove enough that this religion is violent? Where is the peace there?

Well, he's alive and well while your Black a$$ is about to do life, or get the death penalty.

Fighting for God is crazy idea.

this is why you need to ask questions and from the right people . Not every Muslim is a terrorist. Not every American supports the government's foreign policies. The words of the Qur'an that mention the use of violence have specific rules to them. Most were in retaliation to oppression from the pagans of Mecca at the time.

Would you suggest that Nigeria folds her arms if a neighboring country, say, Cameroon brings up a fight ??

But even this kind of engagement has rules. The ones that protect  women, children and even slaves .

pls can someone become a Terrorist reading the quran? is this guy saying the truth?? ahha??!!

a dude came here last time to educate us on the actual quoranic meaning of Jihad.

Now we are getting the real industry meaning from an on-site disciple.

At the end of the day every man must take responsibility for his actions. I have my doubts about Islam being a religion of peace because of some koran verses I have read myself. Having said that though generalizations often don't work. Some Muslims have simply chosen to ignore those. Guess it's a case of someone who is hell bent on being evil finding excuses to do same.

What a comparison! Is Islam a country that was being invaded by pagans of mecca? How were the pagans oppressing Islam? By not believing? Must you fight to convince unbelievers? Nah by force? That is mostly what Islam is all about. Stop beating about the bush.

@Karpenter, u need to attend a madrasa to know what islam is about, odawise buy the 40 hadith of An-Nawawi (pronounced as spelt), make sure u get the english translated version & endeavour to read it, u'll probably know the epicentre of islam,

the word Islam itself means peace, so it is right to say religion of peace, if u keep ur argument of islam as being a bad religion, what will u say of the churches dat ordained gay marriages, or churches in Nigeria that preach prosperity & milk their members dry, ain't not a fan of religious argument, having topped my class severally in BK or CRK as they call it nw, bt seriously, Muttallab just spoilt the shine of those willing to get excited by the trial & nw they are complaining, whether he pleads guilty or not, he will still be convicted, hw are we sure that his plea is not the result of his father's invitation to the US, last January .
That's why I prefer to watch Liverpool Man. United playing dan reading US & Terrorism,

[b]The bolded: You are invariable supporting an intended violent act by Mutallab, probable because he's a fellow muslim and you still don't understand why many label Islam anything but peaceful religion. You guys are all the same. Churches can rip you off as you claim, but nobody forces you to part with your resources. It's your choice. That's how religion should be

Islam is a religion of peace?

ROFL

I ain't knocking Muslims or anything, but come on, your religion is predicated on violence and the threat of violence. Islam without violence is like a sandwich without bread.

And I'm an Atheist, so Christians get heat from me too lol. But you just gotta call it what it is.
